In April 2007, it was announced that the 2008 race would become the world's richest long distance running event in history, with one million dollars offered for a world record and $250,000 for first place for both the men and women. The race is a major attraction and garners many people who come to watch and support the runners. The prize money for the winners go from USD 8,000 to USD 200,000!

Very poor customer service poor timing chip! Dont expect anyone to do anything for you if something goes wrong. Last time for me to do this race. I asked for a refund they said they would not do it! Although I finished the race and they say I did not. I even showed them my pictures in the race. SO DISSAPOINTING

was my first experience of FULL Marathon. Was encouraged so much throughout the route by Volunteers that felt the Pain of completing it was worth and would not be possible without their encouragement. Inspired by great achievers each year.
